Getting started with mbed Client on mbed OS

Warning

This example application is not supported anymore.

Information

History project:

  • 17/01/2018 - Using mbed-cli the project is compiled using the use-malloc-for-heap feature enabled
  • 24/11/2017 - Added support for uvision5, here instructions
  • 02/10/2017 - First Release

This is the mbed Client example for mbed OS. It demonstrates how to register a device with mbed Device Connector, how to read and write values, and how to deregister. If you are unfamiliar with mbed Device Connector, we recommend that you read the introduction to the data model first.

The application:

  • Connects to network with 6LoWPAN ND connection.
  • Registers with mbed Device Connector.
  • Gives mbed Device Connector access to its resources (read and write).
  • Sends an incremental number to mbed Device Connector.

You can compile this project in three ways:

1. Using the Online compiler. Just clicking here:

## Radio module identification

* Make sure that you are using the same radio modules on both server and client sides:

	* If the radio module on the gateway router supports the 2.4 GHz frequency band, the client side must have an mbed 6LoWPAN shield that uses a 2.4 GHz radio module (such as Atmel AT86RF233).

	* If the radio module on the gateway router supports the sub-GHz frequency band, the client side must have an mbed 6LoWPAN shield that uses a sub-GHz radio module (such as Atmel AT86RF212B).

* An easy way to identify which frequency band your setup uses is to check the **Antenna size** on the radio module:

	* The sub-GHz band antenna is larger than the 2.4 GHz antenna.

	* For the client side (mbed 6LoWPAN shield connected to an FRDM-K64F board), see the image below:

	* For the gateway router, see the image below:
